Welcome to part one of A Christmas Carol.
One of the many hats I wear in life is as host to the podcast CraftLit: A Podcast for Crafters Who Love Books. The idea behind the podcast is that folks who are busy with their hands—knitting, quilting, gardening, taking care of small children, vacuuming—aren’t able to hold a book and read while they’re doing all the other things they like (or have) to do. The podcast expands their literary options by providing “books on tape—with benefits.”
In my former life I was a high school English teacher, reasonably well-known for teaching classic fiction to my (wonderful) students in a city high school in Manhattan. Conventional wisdom aside, my juniors read The Scarlet Letter, Huck Finn, Their Eyes Were Watching God, The Great Gatsby, The Catcher in the Rye and more. The kids ate literature with a fork and spoon.
When I started the podcast I wanted to keep doing what I’d been able to do in class—namely teaching the classics. I’d found out pretty fast that everyone thinks they know classic books (like Frankenstein) but really, we only know movies or cartoon versions (or haven’t yet noticed that Mel Brooks’ creature at the end of Young Frankenstein has a lot in more in common with the book’s creature than other representations!).
A Christmas Carol is no different.
So, here I provide you with a few ways to listen to the story (with benefits!). We offer: a video podcast you can watch here (see below), a video podcast you can put in your iTunes or on your iPod/iTouch/iPhone (right click here), or an audio file that can be played on any computer or mp3 player—right click here–>audio
